Jackson, Alan - To Do What I Do Lyrics
I've been a waiter, a roofer, a clerk
I've shoveled manure till my pride hurt
When you're starting out, it's all part of the work
To do what I do
I've been evicted for not making rent
For the price of a dream, my years have been spent
To do what I do
So I stand here tonight with this six string guitar
To be something I've always been in my heart
Just for the chance to play you my song
The thrill when I hear you singing along
It's been worth everything I've been through
To do what I do
The drunks that don't listen, the crowds that dont care
Been told countless times Boy you ain't goin' nowhere
To do what I do
So I hope the critics and skeptics alike
All bought a ticket to this show tonight
And they'll see firsthand that I have survived
And what doesn't kill you makes you more alive
And I'm one of the fortunate few
To do what I do
There's so much joy this music can bring
So I count my blessings when I step up to sing
Cause they're so many people who would give anything
To do what I do
And I thank you
I can do what I do

My friend Tim Johnson wrote this gem. Sadly he passed away in 2012 from cancer. He was 52. The nicest man in country music. His music lives on.
what a nice thing for Tim to leave you with! This is my favorite of Alan's hits. That damn cancer takes a piece of our heart with each of its victims.
RIP. One of my favorite Alan Jackson's song.
Laurie Havens , I am sorry Laurie ,. Tim Johnson was most likely a Great Country Man that could sing so Beautifully too ... God Bless you to Laurie , Sincerely Lisa Hinrichs 💫💫💫💫💫🛀😞🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
